Speak Low by Kurt Weill (1900-1950). Arranged by Rob McConnell. For Little Big Band (ATB Saxophones, 2 Trumpets, 1 Trombone, & Rhythm). Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.60102).
In the jazz life over the years this wonderful song by Kurt Weill (1944) has more often than not been played at a fast tempo. This chart is quite slow (quarter note = 108) with a 12/8 feel. This orchestration of Rob's is of an arrangement of George Shearings' (with some input from Neil Swainson, Rob's good friend, and his bassist of the last 15 years or so.) As with a lot of musical things that George has been doing for years, this version of "Speak Low" really sounds like "Speak Low". Go figure!No score. Scored for A, T, T, 2 Trpts, 2 Trbns, & Rhythm. As recorded by the Rob McConnel Tentet on "Thank You, Ted.".

About Hal Leonard Fake Books
A "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble. Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song. This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.
